Is This The BEST Gaming CPU? - Ryzen 5800X3D

Is AMD's 3D V-Cache a gimmick or can it really improve performance in your games?

I find the main benefit of my 5800x3d is even with GPU bound settings, it raised the 1% minimums up like 8-10fps, which makes all the difference when you're trying to keep everything above 60hz.
Minimizing those janky frame rate drops is totally worth upgrading, IMO.

When Ryzen 5000 came out I went from a 2600x and went a bit overboard with a 5900x. My system is only for gaming so I sold that and got a 5800x3D recently. Definitely noticed an improvement in the games that I play. It's a great CPU.

This video was released at a great time since i bet a lot of people are looking for information about 3D v-Cache after the 7000 3D CPU's were revealed

Doesn’t matter what the video is about, if Riley is hosting… I’ll watch it!

the reason why they start doing 3d cache is really interesting. Its because the development of it cant keep up the the processing unit itself. We need more cache to substitute for faster cache. Thats the biggest problem in chip design right now

I guess we'll see how the 7800X3D announced a couple days ago benchmarks.

I got 5800X3D over the holidays. Day after I bought it, the stock at Amazon was sold out due to the amazing deal. I've recently upgraded my Graphics card from 1080Ti to AMD 6800XT. I noticed there wasn't significant uplift with the upgrade but I later figured out my old AMD 3600X was severely bottlenecking my new Graphics Card. So, that is why I got 5800XD. The difference is huge. I never would have imagined how much it was bottlenecked until I replaced my CPU. I've also enabled SMART Access Memory and threw in another pair of RAM totalling 32GB of RAM. What's crazy about my build is, my motherboard is an old B450. So I could have upgraded this as well to maximize my build potential but I at that point, I would have bought a brand new computer. And since I didn't want to reformat my data, I kept my old motherboard.

I upgraded from a 3600 to 5800x3D recently (to pair with my new 3070) and the difference in performance is extremely noticeable in strategy games.
(HOI4, Stellaris, Anno, etc.) Smoother gameplay with less lag and hick ups.

In general, in games, the most noticeable improvement are the 1% lows getting a nice bump. (10 to 20fps depending on which game, in a few cases even more)

Surprising how much of a difference the extra cache makes, with a 5950X and 4090 the 4090 in some games even at maxed out 4K was holding my GPU back. In games like The Division 2 in the White House base I was dropping to 90% or so GPU usage and struggling to hit my VSYNC cap of 120fps, game would be at 100/105fps or so. I inserted the 5800X3D, same BIOS, same everything and now this CPU is pushing my GPU to 99% usage in the same areas and sticking to a locked 120fps everywhere with a few extra frames to spare. In Far Cry 6 I also gained a good 15fps on my averages as well and that was maxed out at 4K. I may have lost half my cores and 500Mhz in single core clock speed but gaming performance is up quite nicely.

I noticed after switching from a 5600x to the 5800x3D that in Battlefield 5 which is notorious for stutters when first joining a match to compile shaders that I noticed a massive reduction in overall stuttering. With the 5600x I would get a lot of stutters pretty much the entire match and than it would kind of go away when playing that same map but was still there. When I got the 5800x3D the stutters are almost completely gone and are maybe there for the first 30 seconds of the game. It’s really nice and I play at 4K.

As a new X3D owner I appreciate the huge boost in framerate in heavily CPU-bound games like Star Citizen.

Seems odd to do a video about the 5800X3D the day after the 7800X3D, 7900X3D and 7950X3D were announced.

[Wizbrokun]

Upgraded to a 5800X3D and RTX 3090 in early December from a 3950X and 2080 Ti. Now my 100Hz monitor is my bottleneck.

[topear]

I have the 58003dx. It boosted my fps by 40fps over my 3900.

[CoolJoshk]

The cache is really great for competitive gaming. Higher minimum FPS for way better consistency.
The higher skill you reach, the more you’ll notice those inconsistent frame times and how much they vary.

Years ago when people were first talking aobut issues shrinking transistors further, I had a heated discussion with my comp science proff regarding my idea for a cube shaped processor vs his idea of massive flat CPUs. When TR CPUs came out he reminded me of the conversation (still talk to him) and claimed victory, and whilst it's not a cube shaped CPU 3D V-cache is definitely a step towards more vertical solutions.

[shady]

I went from a 3600 to a 5800X3D and it was a massive upgrade

[TheawesomeMCB]

Got a 5800x3d for Christmas, came from a ryzen 5 3600. Couldn’t be happier

[YTVideoGamerBro]

I just went from an I7-4790K to a R7-5800X3D, its been an awesome change.

[Taqley]

Upgraded from 3700x to the 5800x3D, must say, massive difference. Gets hot on start up for some games, but within seconds the temps drop significantly, cooler than the 3700x was.
